It can lead to major injuries or even cause death. The rate of exposure to accident among recreational divers has become a major concern. The number of accidents among the recreational divers in the United States (U.S.) and Canada is in between 80 to 100 per year. There are three countries with a high number of deaths among the recreational divers in Asia during 2009-2011, which are Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. The statistics shows that these three countries have an increasing number of accidents in recreational diving activities. The upshot rate of accident should not be neglected and needed a critical emphasis. Therefore, this study aims to propose a framework of human errors effect on accidents among recreational divers. Previous studies indicated that there are three important human error factors which are the diving equipment, medical conditions, and diving technique which had a significant effect on accidents in the recreational diving. Managing human errors are important in reducing accidents rate among recreational scuba divers. Quantitative method was utilized to meet the objectives of the study. A questionnaire was developed and adapted from the previous studies. This questionnaire was sent to experts for pre-test before conducting pilot study. The questionnaire was distributed during the fieldwork among recreational divers who dives in Redang Island and Perhentian Island by using simple random sampling technique. The total of 305 respondents were selected randomly using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study used (SPSS) and Analysis of a Moment Structures (AMOS) to examine and scrutinize all necessary parameters for Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were examined for construct validity and reliability. After attainment of all the required values, the study went through the measurement model. Consequently, the SEM found that two of the human error factors; namely, diving equipment and diving technique had significant positive effect on accidents. However, medical condition had insignificant effect on accidents. Therefore, this study has provided reliable evidence that diving equipment and diving technique had significant effect to the number of accidents among the recreational divers in Perhentian Island and Redang Island. Moreover, this study indicated that increasing safety awareness especially in diving equipment, medical condition, and diving technique among the divers can reduce the number of accidents in scuba diving activity. The findings of this study are useful in proving the integration of the proposed human error model with the foundation of existing theories which were The Swiss Cheese Accidents Model and Human Factor Theory. The findings are also important in order to increase the safety awareness among recreational divers and dive centre providers on the human error factors that lead to accidents among recreational divers. It is important to reduce the accidents and for sustainability of the recreational diving activity in Malaysia. Dissertations, Academic Thesis |
